Deploying Node.js applications with Elastic Beanstalk

This chapter provides instructions for configuring and deploying your Node.js web application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It also provides walkthroughs for common tasks such as database integration and working with the Express framework. Elastic Beanstalk makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale your Node.js web applications using Amazon Web Services.

You can deploy your application in just a few minutes using the Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (EB CLI) or by using the Elastic Beanstalk console. After you deploy your Elastic Beanstalk application, you can continue to use the EB CLI to manage your application and environment, or you can use the Elastic Beanstalk console, AWS CLI, or the APIs.

Follow the QuickStart for Node.js for step-by-step instructions to create and deploy a Hello World Node.js web application with the EB CLI.
